The last time we visited Herringbone & Sui in search of a Marsala suit, we climbed up a staircase leading to its heritage bungalow location, and watched from the balcony as an East Indian wedding unfurled in the Pali Village streets below.

Inside Herringbone & Sui, this rustic charm continues, but it is not without cutting edge technology, speed and efficiency. The country’s premier provider of bespoke men’s clothing, now has a secret James Bond-ish weapon – 3D body scanning technology! Housed behind suede curtains fashioned to look like a changing room, this beast has within it 20 cameras + depth sensor + infrared laser-beams to create an exact three-dimensional avatar of the customer in under 10 seconds.

Bond Labour

These readings are combined with traditional tailoring techniques, altering patterns to compensate for posture, stance, shoulder slant and numerous other small details to create suits that “fit and sit” individually for each customer. “We understand the value of our customers’ time. With the help of a 3D scanner we get over 120 data points in a matter seconds and can then pour over the customers’ avatar, without any pressure, to create the perfect bespoke pattern to ensure complete satisfaction,” the team tells us.

Within the next year they will be able to create realistic renders of orders for customers, meaning they would be able to preview lifelike 3D images of their orders.

Zegna The Warrior Prince
